RedditMUSLIMS (& OTHERS) MARCH
London
Maria Margaronis's account of the 400,000-strong September 28 antiwar march in London misrepresents the character of this historic event ["Blair, the Go-Between," Oct. 21]. The marchers, many of them first-time protesters, were extraordinarily diverse and extraordinarily united. Contrary to her claim, it was precisely concern for the lives of those who will be most affected by a war--Iraqis suffering under Saddam, Kurds in the firing line--that deeply motivated them. This central human theme was stressed repeatedly by numerous speakers, including Iraqis themselves (for their speeches go to www.stopwar.org.uk).
